Ireland – England: Balmented, the XV of the clover overturned from valiant English, the mad shock summary

20:15 – A reversing Ireland, the summary of the match

It was the shock of the first day of the 6 nations tournament and the actors of the prestigious poster Ireland – England responded! While the English were ambitious, determined behind their new captain Maro Itoje to create a resounding feat, the Irish people were keen to start the defense of their double with the way. Caught by the players of the XV of the rose in a first quarter of an hour in one way, the teammates of Jamison Gibson-Park have “not seen the light of day”. In the 8th minute, the neo-international Cadan Murley spoke his speed of speed on a shaving kick to register the first test of the game (0-7, 9th). The Irish reaction was quick to arrive. At the quarter of an hour, Ronan Kelleher thinks of registering the rebellion test but Ben O’Keeffe refuses it due to a fault of Tadgh Beirne on Maro Itoje. At 14 after Marcus Smith’s yellow card, the English have not lost the pace in a completely crazy first act. Five minutes from the break, Lowe refutes Mitchell on the left wing before serving Jamison Gibson-Park who erases Freddie Steward with a huge hook. The young Sam Prendergast misses the transformation (5-7, 35th) before a penalty of Marcus Smith at the break (5-10, 40th).

Upon returning from the locker room, Simon Easterby’s players return with other intentions and were quickly rewarded. On the left wing, Bundee Aki is served in orbit by Prendergast. The center eliminated Marcus Smith before scoring despite the return of two English (10-10, 52nd). Four minutes later, Itoje sets off and Prendergast rectifies the sights after two failures (13-10, 56th). In pursuit of the break test, James Lowe negotiates a situation in numerical superiority before serving Beirne (20-10, 64th). In search of the offensive bonus, the Irish aggravates the brand in the last ten minutes of play thanks to Sheehan against exhausted and resigned English (27-10, 74th). Finally, the players of Simon Brothwick found an extra soul to go air conditioning the Aviva Stadium in the last five minutes by Tom Curry (27-15, 76th) then through Freeman after the Siren (27-22 , 80+2nd).

Thanks to this victory, Ireland joins France and Scotland at the top of the 6 nations tournament ranking. For its part, England follows in the ranking before receiving the XV of France next week for an enticing “crunch”.
